He realizes he can’t stand to just sit around and wait for his mum to die; he needs to get away. In the elevator he sees a button that wasn’t there before. When he presses it, the elevator doors close and transport him to a very different kind of place.

But what do you do if you discover that you can stop time, and even travel in time? Can you change the past – or the future?

When the Cranes Fly South is a touchingly sad book that tells the story of how a person gradually loses everything. However, Lisa Ridzén’s impressively masterful debut reads even more powerfully as a moving plea for empathy.

The last semester of ninth grade. The unwritten rules of the classroom, the hierarchies, the hallways. Eyes meeting and turning away, hands accidentally touching. Secret messages late at night. Hope growing, and bursting.
